New Record. — Anton Bruun 17674G, 24°24'S, 80°47'W, 4195 m, 11 July 1966, 1 damaged specimen, USNM 1021993. Remarks. —One small (6.2 mm in CD) damaged specimen is reported from the abyssal plain off the Miriam Spur of the Nazca Ridge off northern Chile. It is characterized by having a strongly conicalshaped corallum, four cycles of septa, rudimentary S4, and tuberculate columellar elements. It was previously reported from the eastern Pacific from the abyssal plain of the Peru Basin off southern Peru at 4620 m (Keller 1982). It is also reputed to occur in the western Pacific at depths of 1940–5080 m (Keller 1982), making it the deepest living species of Deltocyathus as well as one of the deepest living scleractinian species.
